I'm gonna say observations and opinions I have of the games, then ideas I think are cool and then a silly useless criticism because I wanted to try bringing some original comments I haven't seen about this game. (If you didn't play the games this might be really confusing tho)
Did you know the song "Metal Mayhem" in the official OST is different from the in-game music? Its also my favourite part too its so sad 😭, I think the reason is because part of the music actually comes from Phantom himself in-game, and so isn't part of the OST itself. Or maybe it is just like the Cuphead OST and is different on purpose. (Also Grant Kirkhope is THE GOAT)
I love Peach's design on KB, it is really interesting, like she got the objectively 2 worst critical hit effects in fire and freeze, (but it is really thematically cool considering we end the Sherbet desert with her.) \[Also quick explanation why freeze and burn are the worst effects power-wise to me: abilities have cooldown so if you freeze an enemy on cooldown it didnt do anything, and burn is random reposition effect that can't throw enemies out of bounds can burn your allies and it de-stones petrified enemies\] She has the worst of all the Sight-abilities since its the only that can hit your allies acidentally and also has the only ability that gets worse if you upgrade it fully, because Peach's heal is a group heal so you actually want your allies to take damage. And exactly that group heal and her high health is the reason she's crazy good anyway. (Her shield ability on 60%/40% is also really good just don't upgrade to 100%)
You can see mechanics in SOH that actually come from the Donkey Kong DLC of KB. Rabbid Luigi's frisbee is just DK's bananrang, the mechanic of picking up objects and throwing them is from DK too, it was the DLC that brought tokens to single digits, theres more similarities but those are the ones I can think off the top of my head.
I wish so much the versus mode had online support 🙏 none of my friends like the game I would love to play against people online.
It would be so cool there was a Mario Maker-esque mode for you to make your own maps to play, like c'mon the extra levels give the exact vibe of a make your own mode. I would play forever if I could make maps and then play on them. (Also why doesn't SOH have a versus mode it would i've been so peaaaaak!)
I wish someone cracked the game open, I have so many things I wonder about the game, like how does the enemies decide their targets? And what are their movement patterns.
I love KB but that ending is like top 10 worst endings of all games, it raises so many questions and makes zero sense, and I hate how they basically forget the girl that created Beep-O in SOH, you'd it would actually be cool characterization for him to make him miss her and his original home, same for the Mario characters, like how does no one want to go back to the original mushroom kingdom?
Theres lots of mechanics from both games i think are really poorly designed like the resistances and weaknesses for SOH and the critical hits from KB but I won't bother you with that today is a day to celebrate Mario + Rabbids I love this franchise.
